The Huawei P20 Lite: A Little Gem

If you are looking for a lightweight and affordable smartphone, look no further than the Huawei P20 Lite. It’s a great little mid-range phone, that has many of the features of more expensive models. Here’s a look at what you get for this budget friendly number, which is the lowest priced of the well-regarded P20 family.

Aesthetics

The phone doesn’t look conspicuously different to more expensive models, with an overall sleek and pleasing design. The measurements are 71.2 x 7.4 x 148.6mm, which is plenty big enough for the excellent quality edge to edge display. It has the stylish rounded corners and camera notch that is a trademark of the other P20 phones, and a matt metal finish.

It is indeed super lite too, weighing in at 145g, which makes it easy to slip into your pocket without it feeling clunky and awkward.

Face unlock technology

Unlike many pretenders in this price category, the P20 Lite boasts Face Unlock technology, which is quick and reliable, even in poor light. This adds an extra layer of security to your phone, as well as letting you unlock it effortlessly. If you don’t want to use the Face Unlock, you can also use the fingerprint sensor on the rear of the phone.

Storage can be extended up to 256GB

The standard storage for this phone is 64GB and 4GB RAM, but there is the capacity to increase this up to 256GB using a microSD card. It’s well up to the task of handling the bigger video apps, such as Netflix, and for general game playing.

Dual lens cameras

The phone boasts a 16MP rear camera plus 2MP front camera. It takes high quality photos and selfies, with the usual range of effects that you would expect from a modern smartphone. 

Overall, this is a great value phone that packs a powerful punch.
